Ricky Burns recovered from a first-round knockdown to claim the WBO
super-featherweight belt from the previously unbeaten Roman Martinez in an
explosive world title fight in Glasgow.

The Scot looked to have lost the first three rounds against the Puerto Rican but he recovered emphatically to secure a unanimous points verdict.

The Kelvin Hall has seen some famous fights over the years but this contest will go down as one of the most memorable as Burns deservedly beat the hard-hitting champion at his own game with a string of powerful shots throughout a gripping 12 rounds.
